Watch the trailer from Penguin. Professionally done and spot on for creating the mood, suspense, and terror the story generates. Dystopian meets alien invasion meets corrupt government. Enough said. Watch, then READ. Yes, we have it at Dorman.

After the movie trailer for The Fault in Our Stars was leaked earlier this week, the decision was made to go ahead and make it public with the high definition version (as opposed to the bootleg looking leaked movie trailer out earlier this week.)

The Library is again sponsoring a lunch time
book club. Students should sign up in
the library, and our first meeting this semester is February 6. Those students who sign up by Monday,
February 3 will be provided a catered lunch paid for by the library. The first book club of the semester is a “bring
your own book” meeting, and students are asked to bring a book they would like
to share.

We have scheduled a Skyped author visit with Paul
Volponi, author of The Final Four
for March 4, and our so our clubs will be reading this book in preparation for
the March 4 book club meeting, which has been approved for participants to miss
their third block class in it’s entirety (this gives them time to eat our
catered lunch and then meet up with our author using Skype in a session that
includes a Q&A time at the end for the students.

This book has wide appeal to teens, and we hope
since it will be “basketball final four season” we may pick up some teens who
generally don’t participate in book clubs. Sign up and be a part of this
unique experience. Students who attend our Feb 6 meeting will have a copy of
the Volponi book ordered for them at no cost. This is a great opportunity for
our students.
